Carnival Cruises Reviews

Fun from the minute we walked on the ship

Catherine Whitmore made this one of our TOP Vacations with her patience and expertise in planning our flights along with the Cruise. The Carnival Luminosa is beautiful and kept us busy with the finest in service throughout, The Entertainment was great and the Music throughout was superb. The wide variety of Foods and the quality of meals served were excellent...always something excellent to eat. All went perfect and we thank Catherine for making this Vacation so special.

There were 11 in our group and always something going on for everyone. We had too much fun, sun and food. Can’t wait to cruise again

We had a great time. Took the same cruise last year but brought a lot more people this year. We live Carnival and Avoyatravel.

To be honest, my experience overall was Okay. The ship was very nice. The service during dinner and lunch in the dining room was not what I expected. Each time we had an extremely long wait and had to wait even longer for our food. My Birthday night was a disappointment. I had pre-order my vegan meal and it came back all wrong. I had to wait even longer for them to finally get it right. By the time my meal came, it was very late. I waited for them to come back and sing Happy Birthday to me. After an extremely long wait, I left. I had to complain each night to the manager about the wait. Our housekeeping crew was not greatest. They left dirty dishes in our cabin and left pillowcases on the bed for us to do it ourselves. In addition, the timing was off and several days we had to wait until later in the day for our cabin to be cleaned until we complained and communicated our concerns.

From embarking to debarking, the trip was amazing. The staff was excellent, the food was delicious, and the amenities were plentiful. Always something to do on board. The ship director Cookie is the best. He made sure we were aware of all games, shows, parties and excursion pick-ups. We loved every minute, and I would highly recommend Carnival Horizon to friends and family. Thank you so much to Mayra Taylor at Avoya Travels for her quick response and assistance with booking.

ship was good...food was great.... staff was great....however, both my wife and I got COVID about 5 days into the voyage...had to cancel last excursion

Smooth sailings throughout the Caribbean waters, from embarkation to/through disembarking. Dinner times were great, because we [me, my wife, my father in-law, and my mother in-law] had the 'Best' server on the ship. All venues provided 'Excellent' customer service. Shore excursions were not only as advertised, but really, more than advertised. Room attendant provided really quality service, throughout the cruise. We took 2 evenings for 'Speciality Dining' at they were truly relaxing with great food, service, and ambiance. The Cruise - Relaxing, Enjoyable, Great Service, Smooth Ride, Tasty/Tasteful Drinks, Friendly Cruisers, etc.

After we boarded the ship but before we set sail, a pipe burst in the ceiling of a room across the hall from our rooms. The hallway quickly filled with water and went into 3 of our rooms. The crew was busy trying to vacuum the water. Crew members in Hazmat suits came down to tear apart the room and work on the water situation. We had to deal with wet carpet for much of 3 days and the smell the whole cruise. We were inconvenienced but most of all we are worried about the bacteria and toxins that we breathed when we were in our rooms. We have send letters to Carnival after talking to customer service on the ship. We have not been impressed by Carnival's response so far. We had a great time when we were not dealing with this awful situation . Avoya did a great job for us before the cruise.

The cruise did not start off well - the hallway and 3 of the 5 rooms my family were in were flooded with sewage water before we even left the port. The hallway stunk the entire weekend, and the family members who had it in their room had to put up with the smell and the attempts of the crew to clean it up. They were offered a joke for compensation for the situation. Other than being a relaxing cruise, the entertainment lineup was not as good as I've seen on past cruises. The evening meals were good.

It was great!

It was an awesome trip . It was an enjoyable vacation .looking forward going on another cruise soon

There were not enough activities on the days we were at sea, mainly trivia games. The 2 pools were too small for this size ship. Was disappointed that on the Elegant Nights that there were no tablecloths on the tables in the dining rooms. The reboarding in Bimini was horrible. The cruise ship had 2 doors open but it took us over 1 hr. waiting in the hot 90+ temperatures to get back on the ship Lines at the buffets were slow. The pizza station was understaffed. I waited 1 day for 15 min. with no movement and then left. Should have had more dancing on the Lido deck instead of showing movies so many nights. The Guys Burgers were excellent. Food was good in the dining room. This was my 4th and worst cruise on Carnival, I will choose a different cruise line next time.

My favorite cruise destination did not disappoint.

Great

The cruise was not anything like our last. There was a lot of added fees for things there didn’t used to be. The excursion was miss represented and when we tried to to figure things out with them they informed my husband that it was in the fine print but never showed him where. I have looked and so has my sister in law can not find it either. So we are very disappointed with this cruise. We have always loved carnival until this time.

It was an enjoyable cruise with all the family. The islands were nice to explore but the best is Curacao.

The Mardi Gras is a fantastic ship with so many things to do, such a variety of very good food, tremendous service, a A+ Cruise Director, clean and there was a roller coaster. My grandchildren range from 6 to 20 and all them enjoyed themselves, as well as a nephew and niece that went along. All together we traveled with a party of 11 and were extremely well taken care of. One of my grandchildren was nervous about being on the ocean, but she absolutely enjoyed herself. Julieann is the best representative one can have to get setup and enjoy the vacation. She was available even to the last minute as she had a procedure to take care of, we had a difficulty on our side and Julieann stepped in a resolved the issue.
